l33th3tr33 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I'm currently building a black DD mod, was gonna have black rims but I'm more swayed towards the white now. That looks awesome! What's the 180 rear disc like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echotrials20" Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Very nice bike you have there, my most favourite frame of all time. Only thing as it's such a mean looking bike it needs some mean looking rotors to finish it off. Other than that gorgeous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9604 Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Cheers for the comments guys, The rear brake is amazing, so much bite and hold, love the fact that the only noise you get is the freewheel. AJ Very nice bike you have there, my most favourite frame of all time. Only thing as it's such a mean looking bike it needs some mean looking rotors to finish it off. Other than that gorgeous I would change but I love the feel of these rotors, I might experiment with some others soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-bonham@hotmail.com Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 sweet bike, not sure if both bash ring & bash plate are needed though. usually either one or the other... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9604 Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 sweet bike, not sure if both bash ring & bash plate are needed though. usually either one or the other... Yeah I have thought about that, and think I will do one or the other when I put a new freewheel on at some point and either take the ring off or change it to the Trialtech titanium one and remove the plate.

j-bonham@hotmail.com Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Yeah I have thought about that, and think I will do one or the other when I put a new freewheel on at some point and either take the ring off or change it to the Trialtech titanium one and remove the plate. thats a good call, i've currently got a ti halfring, with no bashplate. works a treat. and saves a touch of weight. Although, if you like using the bash. (using it up obstacles) i'd keep it. I sometimes wish i had one. But I prefer a smoother approach to riding these days.

AJ9604 Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 i hate using the bash its there just in case for the time being lol, ti halfring is sounding appealing though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Are gu frames strong? Would love a gu but not sure on strength. That bike is incredible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mods Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Bike looks great! I hated my DD mod, i bet the 180mm rotors make all the difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_ruskin Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 That looks swish! really nice! A higher BB is needed though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetec S Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 such a mean looking frame. Did they ever do a 4 bolt version? Or is that the Tyhoon I forget... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9604 Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 The brakes are amazing, and the frame is really strong but you pay for it in weight as its about 2.2kg just for the frame. I am looking at getting a new frame soon but not sure what to go for yet. AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
